"We prospectively randomized 100 patients undergoing arthroscopic patellar tendon allograft ACL reconstruction to a group in whom platelet-enriched gel was used (n = 50) and a non-gel group (n = 50). The platelet concentration was 837 x 10(3)/mm(3), and the gel was introduced inside the graft and the tibial tunnel. The use of PDGF, on the graft and inside the tibial tunnel, in patients treated with bone-patellar tendon-bone allografts has no discernable clinical or biomechanical effect at 2 years' follow-up."

Hi Doc, You left a comment on my site and suggested including some of your refs. I will do that. Your sites are full of excellent information I also have a larger site http://whiplash101.com and it would be great if you would consider adding a quest post there..it could of course link back to your sites

Let me know if this could work for you...I actually sent a couple of patients to your site
